Some gynecologists in the Columbus area are dropping Medicare patients due to low payments, according to a report by the Columbus Dispatch.
A spokesman for the Ohio State Medical Association said dropping Medicare has been a growing trend due to stagnant fees since 2001 but still only a small number of physicians are doing so.
The exodus would be much larger, however, if Medicare physician payments were automatically cut by 21 percent on March 1, which would happen if Congress does not postpone the cut, as it has done every year for the past eight years.
